The Kamchatka Peninsula of far eastern Russian
May 23, 2013 - The Kamchatka Peninsula of far eastern Russian was surrounded by life in late May 2013, at least the oceanic sort. Massive blooms of microscopic, plant-like organisms called phytoplankton spread green over the nearby waters of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. Looking toward the North Pole from the southern end of the peninsula, blooms of chlorophyll-rich cells appear off both the west coast, in the Sea of Okhotsk, and to the east in the North Pacific Ocean.
Stretching nearly 1, 250-kilometers (780 mile) from north to south, the peninsula is dotted with volcanoes, some of which are faintly visible

It reveals an awe-inspiring sight: chlorophyll-rich cells creating vivid blooms across vast stretches of water. As we gaze at this photograph, we can also catch glimpses of some volcanoes dotting this rugged landmass. From plate tectonics to its location within Earth's Ring of Fire, every aspect showcased in this photo highlights Kamchatka's geological significance. The peninsula stretches for over 1,250 kilometers (780 miles) from north to south and boasts extreme terrains shaped by volcanic activity. This satellite view reminds us of our planet's immense natural wonders and invites contemplation about our environment and climate.
